Drought effects on soil enzyme activity
(2021)
Soil extracellular enzyme activity (EEA) is a strong predictor for soil health. EEA cycle
nutrients within terrestrial systems, processing carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorous, while also
mineralizing and stabilizing gas. ...
Climate change impacts on the health and livelihoods of Indigenous communities in Northern Ontario
(2021)
Climate change is expected to affect people’s health and livelihoods in northern
Indigenous communities more adversely than in others due to existing socio-economic
conditions and direct reliance on the environment to ...
Genetic variation of functional traits related to drought tolerance in yellow birch seedlings
(2022)
Understanding patterns of variation in drought-related traits of hardwood trees is crucial
for conserving and managing North American temperate forests under climate change.
In this study, I examined provenance variation ...
Interactive effects of elevated CO2 and temperature, nutrition, and ectomycorrhizas on morphological traits and summer shoot formation in jack pine
(2022)
Understanding the responses of trees, ectomycorrhizal fungi (ECM) and their association to
climate change can be challenging due to their interactions with multiple environmental factors.
The combined impacts of elevated ...
Herpetofauna in Rondeau Provincial Park, Ontario, Canada: comments on sample methodology and forest disturbance
(2022)
Habitat selection in herpetofauna in Rondeau Provincial Park (RPP) around roads and
human structures in built areas were described alongside recommendations on cover
board material for their survey. The first objective ...
Advanced separation and anaerobic digestion technologies for value-added bioproducts and biofuel from pulp and paper mill wastes
(2022)
In the first research project, the extraction of hemicellulose from the process water and synthetic
hydrolyzate using liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) was examined. Specifically, the effects of the main
experimental variables ...
Interspecific interactions modulate social foraging behaviour and habitat use in a neotropical migratory warbler species during its nonbreeding period
(2022)
Spatial and temporal variation in biotic and abiotic conditions in any foraging
environment prompts individuals to modify their strategies of space use and behavioral
responses such as going from solitary to social ...
Impact of weather variability and climate change on grain yield of Sable wheat in Thunder Bay, Ontario
(2021)
Cultivation of spring wheat varieties has expanded into northern areas where it is an
integral part of the crop rotations followed by the farmers. Around Thunder Bay, in Northern
Ontario, spring wheat is typically grown ...
Assessment and evaluation of soil health indicators with changes from boreal forest to agriculture in Thunder Bay, Ontario
(2022)
The boreal forest is one of the most extensive biomes in Canada at an estimated 2.7 million ha.
The requirement for a growing agricultural sector, along with a currently warming climate, has
accelerated the conversion ...
Dominance and competition: a giving-up density analysis of rank-based foraging decisions of small groups of confined bison (Bison bison)
(2023)
Socially foraging animals such as bison (Bison bison) modify their foraging
behaviour based on social status and food availability to maximize individual fitness.
Winter feeding trials were performed on juvenile bison ...
